9. Messy Braid Bun

What You Need

What To Do

Weave each section into a loose braid. It can be a regular braid, a pull-through braid, or simple twists. Any braid works for this hairstyle.

Align one braid along the hairline at the nape of your neck, so its end reaches the ear on the other side. Secure it in place using pins. If your hair is long, tuck the extra part within the aligned part of the braid.

20. The Perfect Messy Bun

What You Need

What To Do

Gather all your hair and hold it in one hand like a high ponytail.

With your other hand, pull out a few strands from the front hairline to frame your face.

Hold one end of an elastic band at the base of the ponytail and pull the other side over your hair. Don’t pass all your hair through the elastic band. Leave out the ends. This forms a bun with the ends hanging free.

Twist the elastic band and pass it over the bun a few times to secure it, allowing the loose ends to be tied in as well. You’ll notice that this messes up your hair.

Secure the ends further in place with some bobby pins.
